Please consult the full Presenter Guidelines for all details on presenting before submitting your proposal.

Presentations are 75 minutes long, including introduction, time for questions, etc. Please be sure your presentation can meet this time frame, as we must stay on schedule so every attendee gets to go to as many sessions as possible.

Please note, if you have a co-presenter, the lead presenter will be the main source of communication.

All conference-related expenses, including registration, travel, lodging, and meals are the individual presenter's or co-presenter's responsibility.

All proposals must be submitted via PDF (download the form below) through the online submission form (link below). NBPTS is not responsible for incomplete forms and any inability to contact potential presenters with incomplete information. Please be very thorough in filling out your form, and be sure not to put any personal identifiable information on the PDF itself. All personal contact information will be submitted through the online form before attaching your PDF. Questions about the process may be directed to conference@nbpts.org.
